The Curry Mine.

Up to the present writing no
news comes from the Comstock ex-
cept that the relief shifts are hard
at work. The Chronicle has the
following:
Mr.. Patton has hopes of finding
them alive, and gives the following
well grounded reasons: The men
are all strong and healthy and are
experienced miners. Apprehend-
ing that the fire might penetrate
into the drift, they probably bulk
headed one of the crosscuts to keep
out the gas and have retreated be-
hind the bulkhead, where they are
taking the air from the pipes and
,lmly await the arrival of the res
cuing party, which they are NOR
ally certain will spare no effort TO
release them from their living
tomb.
All the material taken out in ex-
cavatiug must be raised to the level
of Inc floor of the drift on the 1900
level by windlass power, which is
very tedious and laborious work.
The waste is then run out and
dumped in a crosscut near the end
of the lateral drift. With these
disadvantages it is safe to say that
under ordinary circun stances il
would have required at least twenty
days to accomplish the work, which
will be completed in less than four,
which could not have been done in
any other mining district in the
world in less than a month.
At o'clock this afternoon it was
momeDtarily expected that a hole
would be broken through in blast
ing. If the men are alive they
have of course taken the precaution
to locate themselves far enough
away from the point where connec-
ton will be made to escape injury
from a shot that would break
through the wall intervening be-
tween them and their rescuers.

cARsON's wATER SUPPLY.
The Mains ChOked with Bead
Fish


For the past few days there has
been considerable trouble with the
water supply of the city. Many
families have been unable to obtain
water through the pipes and others
complain that the water is muddy
and foul with the remnants of dead
fish. Yesterday an APPEAL re-
porter made a tour of inspection
and found people considerably ex-
cited over the matter.
The boy who drives the watering
cart said that the dead fish in the
cart clogged the sprinklers so that
be was Obliged to clean it out. A
lot of dead fish came out of the
pipe in front of Zehner's store.
The fish lay there all day and were
inspected by scores Of people.
Zehner says that he counted nine
FISH that came out of the pipe, re-
side 6sh bones and heads. The
head and backbone of one decom-
posed fish must have belonged to
fish which, when alive weighed
four pounds. The entrails and rot
ten flesh was mixed up and lay in
the street all day causing a good
deal of adverse comment relative to
the Water Company. It is estl-
mated that large number of the
pipes are choked with dead fish
and it is almost impossible to tell
where unless the pipes are torn up
at great expense.
All day families who lived in the
vicinity of artesian wells, were
raidins the wells for water and
those who owned the wells gave
freely and rather laughed at the
discontinue of their neighbors.
The Water Company is thorough
ly satisfied that it must improve its
water supply and no longer have
fish pond to draw from. 1t was re-
ported yesterday that the Company
would begin to sink artesian wells
at once, and by sinking quite a
number secure an inexhaustable
supply of pure and cold water for
the use of the city.
Yesterday the Company began
cleaning the reservoir aud will give
the works a thorough oyerhauling

BLUE JOINT.
a Nevada Grass that Grows
without Water


Every body has been nuticing for
the past month a new grass which
has but recently made its appear
ance in this State. 1t appears to
be spreading everywhere and grows
luxuriently without water.
MIR. Woods, the arborculturist.
who is good authority on such mat
ters, says that it is genuine blue
joint. and that its appearance in
Nevada is of more importance to
this State than the discovery of an
other Comstock. 1t is grass whose
large, heavy seeds are closely allied
t. grain, while its chemical con-
stituents are Of the most nutritious
character. The stalk grows three
or four feet high. and instead of be-
ing hollow like wheat or rye, the
stalk is almost solid. The roots
penetrate deeply into the ground.
and will find moisture to live on
where other grasses win wither. It
is most symmetrical and beautiful
grass to the eye. with a compact
head and no superfuous boards.
Its fattening qualities are unsur-
passed and horses and cattle eat
every portion of it.
Mr.. Woods says that he has
noticed wherever it has gained
foothold it drives out the tickle
grass. The APPEAL is not quite
sure that this cain of its good
qualities can be substantiated, and
it will probably take another season
to fully beside this question.
The grass is rapid seeder, and
there is no reason why the sage
brush land will not in a few years
be turned into vast fields of this
grass. There is hardly an acre of
land in this county where it can
not now be found, and two years
ago there was not spear In sight
here.
Mr.. Woods also says that he has
been experimenting with the wild
pea and finds that it grows here
without irrigation, ana that if the
seed is sown right III among the
sagebrush it will Chamber over the
brush In masses and afford fine fod-
der for stock.
This Is indeed the lazy mans
fodder plant. There are good
many men in Nevada who, when
urged to clear sagenrush land. say
iDys hard aud expensive, but insist
t4At If they hat had the land
cleared they c"uld do well. Give
these people the wild pea TO plant
and they can feed their stock with
no further physical exeition. The
wild pea will be great boon TO
these people.
